With the wage budget down by £500,000 from last season, Parkinson wants to make sure the cash can stretch.

He said: “We’re working on several things and have more meetings lined up next week. But it’s early days and we’re just sounding people out at this stage.

“We’ve made offers for a few of our existing players. Until they decide what they are going to do, that leaves us in a little bit of limbo in terms of what we can offer others because the budget is lower.”

Midfielder Billy Knott, thought to be on Parkinson’s wanted list, insists he will not be rushed over his next move.

Knott, a free agent after being released by Sunderland, said on Twitter: “I haven’t signed for Bradford; it’s rumours.

“I won’t be making any decisions until I’ve had a nice holiday with friends and family.”

Port Vale are also chasing the 21-year-old’s signature after a successful loan spell there during the second half of last season.

Exactly. Told one thing by owners and another by Parky. Our current out of contract players are just as important but surely they should see the need for us to get a squad together as early as possible, whether they're staying or not.

They either want to play for City or they don't. They know the club and how it works. That is the offer, you have till Monday would be my proposition.

No player is bigger than the club, they are servants and l'd say well paid ones at the side of average employees.

How McLaughlin is considering is beyond me, he is the weak link from this gang. We could have a fine replacement for Meredith with Drury unless he's gone elsewhere. Strong rumours from the TBs are that Darby is talking to them. I think Simon Parker has forgotten about Doyle.

City have to progress and they can't be held to ransom by players pratting about.

I'm still surprised Jones wasn't given another year but yes his legs seemed to be slowing down.

Of course they can as an employer. Any employer can set an acceptance date on a contract offered.

As many players are now on holiday much of the negotiation will be stalled or done via agents, so the to-ing and fro-ing will continue until all parties can sit down or at least be in conference/agreement about the deals and the nuances of such.

Yeah, it seems fair to me that our players of 1 or 2 seasons are kept dangling until the end of the season and now we expect them to make up their minds in 2/3 weeks!!!!

As soon as our future in L1 was secured, the players PP wanted to keep should have been offered new deals. Then, if they hadn't agreed fresh terms by the end of May, at least we would have given them time!!!

But we are, as fans, just as much to blame. Season tickets have been on sale for months and as of last night, we had sold just 4,227 with a further 1908 flexis...! How can the club offer good, competitive deals when our fans don't renew until the very last minute!!!!!

Whilst acknowledging your points all players out of contract at the end of he season have to have offers in place on or before 31Jjauary of that season. That offer has to be better than that which a currently in place ( it can be £1.00 a week better).

If that offer does not materialise or is no accepted by the player he comes a free agent and can, if he wishes, sign a pre contract with someone else whilst letting his contract run down with his current club. City were well aware of this situation as evidenced by the need to move Wells on before 31 January. This if a player going out of contract is not offered a new contract or fails to sign a new contract he can leave for free unless the player is under certain age ( I think it is 23 or24) whereupon a settlement has to be negotiated with the purchasing club.

So why did City risk the loss of Darby and Meredith?

I would love to keep the players offered new deals, but if the situation is going to drag on, then move on as a club, but it seems the club may have dropped a clanger in not putting offers on the table slightly earlier, although I except that the delay in confirming our !! status added to this.

£50 on each of 10,000 season tickets and a promise to add it to the playing budget would have solved this problem !!!!!

Ok, I refer to my earlier post, as a contract specialist, how do you know who has or hasn't had an offer? How much was it improved by? What details are being considered within this contract offer, if indeed one has or hasn't been made?
